I've been thinking a lot about fairy tales lately. Why are they so appealing? I've always been a big fan of them, perhaps because of my religious outlooks.
But then, I got to thinking.
I think the real reason I like fairy tales so much, is that I want to be in one. I want to be the average, ho-hum girl that wakes up one day only to have fallen in love with the king of the Unseelie court, thrust into a world of fae.
I also wouldn't mind waking up in the arms of some dark vampire lover (cough, Edward Cullen, cough).
I think its because, in leading an incredibly boring life, I want to step into a world of constant action, danger, romance, and the supernatural. But then, who doesn't? Fairy tales aren't only enjoyed by pagan folk. Everyone likes them.
I really want to go on an adventure, just like in my favorite books (the Tithe series, the Twilight series, and yes, even Harry Potter - land).
Sigh.

Most adventures are entirely possible. It's whether or not you can actually deal with going on one.
Most people find that as soon as they set out on a journey, they end up missing all of the things that they are familiar with. This makes them both worry uncontrollably and makes them feel uncomfortable.
In this way for them, taking an adventure is a moot issue as long as they don't want to deal with these concepts and throw caution to the wind. Only when they've done so can they actually enjoy themselves.
"Part of a true adventure is not knowing if you'll ever return home or not." Something a friend once told me. I've always taken it to heart and I have no regrets.
Well said.
